Christine Lampard has said that while her husband Frank has "stepped up" following the birth of their daughter last year, he hasn't changed "loads" of nappies.
The Northern Irish TV presenter and Chelsea football club manager welcomed their first child together, daughter Patricia Charlotte, in September 2018.
Former professional football player Lampard has two daughters from his previous relationship with Spanish model Elen Rivas, while this is her first child.
Speaking to The Mirror, the 40-year-old TV star spoke about how Frank is juggling being the Chelsea manager and father to a young baby.
She said: "It's an extraordinary job. There is much more to it, I think, than anyone realises. But he’s very, very much thrown himself into it.
"I wouldn’t say he has changed loads of nappies. But he has stepped in and she adores him.
"The second Daddy walks in the door, her eyes just light up. She’s getting a curl in her hair like me but she looks more like a mini Frank."
She said the key to their relationship is "understanding and patience".
"In terms of jobs, I understand, hopefully, what comes with his and he gets mine. More than anything, we have a good laugh", she explained.
"We still think it's really important to try and get a night where it's just him and me going out for a bit.
"I'm not talking fancy stuff, just a pizza or a drink, it never is fancy stuff for us. It is just basic, simple things. We actually have a conversation and I think that's really important."
Christine (née Bleakley) and Frank Lampard married in 2015 and announced they were expecting their first child together in May 2018.
